have to govern. lou: god bless you for saying that. >> that is what we're intending to do, not grand bargain, this is taking baby stops of paying down on the debt, having a down payment to make sure our debt and deficit is taken care of that is what helps the economy to grow. lou: it raises hell with american families, working men and women, this economy. we appreciate you being here, always good to talk with you. >> always thank you, lou. lou: terrific congresswoman, and a delight to talk with. >> thank you, so much. lou: on wall street stocks finished higher, dow up 24, s&p up 6, nazdaq rose 16, shares of blackberry down more than 16%, announcing abandoned plan to

10:29 pm
important issue the thing on everyone's mind whether you are a large, owner, a small be owner or a individual is a health care debacle, they tried to ram it through, circumvent me, i got elected in an attempt to stop obamacare, in massachusets they had a deal with white house they held me up being sworn in for a couple of weeks to ram it through, i goty did not allow one management to try to fix -- amendment to try to fix the bill, so same on them now. they are all complaining now, we didn't know about the grandfatherring, you know people will lose policies, well, they voted on it everyone said we don't care. healthcare, and debacle right now, and fact that people deeply concerned, rightly so it will cost too much, have way too much long wait in line, it just a mess. lou: are you concerned further

working what is not, we need your help, congress, we need your help senate, he is not doing that, he is checking out, the blame game is unbelieveable, first of all people need to be fired. you have to get people in there who know you have to run a business or create a web site, we spent $400 million plus of our tax dollars, and gave if to a canadian company, not even a u.s. company, it is broken, you are right they need to work together, they should be united on this issue. and so should the democrats. lou: quickly. overtime here, but, do you think that president can recover from 4 years of repeated misrepresentations? misstatements, or out right dishonesty? speaking to the american people, is the matter irretrieve able? >> people will give you a break if you are honest, say i made a
10:32 pm
mistake,. lou: 20 times? >> they could have done it on benghazi or the irs issue, they could have done it on this, this is a problem for me, and many others. you know with president, he seems to be very resilient, 350eu78 don't carpeople don't cs they get you know, time with the president, and pushing his agenda, have you every democrat, almost every, pushing his agenda still, making things up, and making it worse, the american people need to hold everyone accountable at ballot box. >> senator scott brown, thank you. >> thank you. lou: we'll have more on the obamacare mess, the dishonesty from this administration, and how it is hitting americans next. stay with us. >> one day to election day 20 2014, we look at important races in

10:39 pm
if if is about the money? i would figure out. >> cuccinelli is governor he would hope to replace, he had a scandal. he had a problem with women's groups, because of an abortion bill, and ultrasound requirement this was intrusive seen that way by some. lou: mcauliffe, he has every scandal, investigation, and washington post, suggestions he is not worthy of the job, many ofs had columnists, how does that work out? >> we were reminded today about his electric car company, in cronyism that has always been with mcauliffe and the clintons, but if you are antagonizing women this is tough to win in a state like virginia. ken cuccinelli has managed to do
10:40 pm
that. lou: focus on that issue and ignore the other issues? women tend to be people who feel strongly about reproductive rights will feel single issue on that issue. and it really -- it hurts he also has a spoiler candidate to the right of him. that is also going to camp complicate. >> a libertarian picking up 8 points, maybe a last minute dial, we're coming right back with the a-team, andlou dobbs tonight," check us out on twitter. and facebook page. loudobbs.com, health care manufacturer johnson & johnson, considers -- making a $2 million mistake. stay with us, we're coming right back. this is the quicksilver cash back card from capital one.

10:45 pm
-- sobering ing--soberration. >> they are right there is a mismatch. the number of people who really want work that -- >> so, our government and you, is answer is to 20 million people out of work, leave them where they are bring in another 3 million a year. in guest worker programming and more, 4 1/2 million a year, that does not take long to add up, what are we doing here, that is a crazy solution. >> it may be a solution, which you may not have if you don't go along with immigration reform, the problem is we have the mismatch. lou: wait a minute -- that is
10:46 pm
malarky. i say generally, wages are declining in construction, in leisure and hospitality, they are declining in the landscape industry. economic teaches us without question, that if in a shortage of labor, these wages will rise. if there a surplus they will fall. they have fallen. there is a shortage, and this is an effort to gets more cheap labor, hank? >> i agree. i think it will knock down the value of those jobs, i think this will knock down the income of a lot of people. there is an argument, something you said, there is not as clear as we would like it to be but americans don't want those jobs but, as they fill them. numbers get knocked down, the jobs become less valuable, americans need to get up, get to work, and make country work at every level. lou: matt is there a way in
10:47 pm
which we perceive republican party is descra desperate to get comprehensive immigration reform done, snap up that senate "gang of 8" bill, push aside what the house is doing, which i support fully, what the house is doing, congressman bob goo? >> i think, one problem we have in this debate, is that when big business weighs, in says sim break reform will be going says that immigration reform will be good for us, a lot of people say, is it good for the country? a majority of people believe thatture immigration policies matches our economy need for economy growth. lou: all right. >> that is the balance we have to strike. lou: over 20 million people out of work, under employed, app
10:48 pm
education system not working almost 50 million people on food stamps, are you kidding me? how do you make sense out of that for amnesty. >> i did not say that. lou: i know can you? >> no, i cannot, bottom line is that -- i think that bottom line that is only way it gets done. lou: matt, a reasonable fellow, will you come back soon. >> thank you. lou: thank you so much judy, and now matter your contentious nature. up next, new book, extortion how capitol hillfieds off of your money, some buy votes, others ending up in our elected official's pockets? author peter schweizer is joining me next. when we made our commitment to the gulf, bp had two big goals:
10:49 pm
help the gulf recover and learn from what happened so we could be a better, safer energy company. i can tell you - safety is at the heart of everything we do. we've added cutting-edge technology, like a new deepwater well cap and a state-of-the-art monitoring center, whe experts watcover all drilling activity twenty-four-seven. and we're sharing what we've learned, so we can all produce energy more safely. our commitment has never been stronger.

10:53 pm
have you a circumstance here, where you know millions of americans lose their healthcare coverage, they having difficulty finding out what coverage is available, yet people are well positioned to do well financially, these connects are made by financiers business owners, bundlers for the president, they have made a nice way to profit from mandates that obamacare created. this is the problem with crony capitalism. lou: making decisions, picking winners and losers without question. and telling the american people to go to hell when they are asked a question. we have no information on enrollment that over the course of you know -- well a month, that it has been, the best we have is there were 200 enroll am
10:54 pm
in two days -- enrollment in two days that is the end of our knowledge. how are we to react to this administration? >> i think outrage is necessary. but i don't think it can be outrage in a general sense. i think we have to learn lessons from this american people have to recognize when government says we'll take 15 to 20% of the economy, and we'll reconfigure it, trust u we know what we're doing, they are not half as smart as they think they are, they are complex economic systems, whether the problem were intended or unintended, the fact is you cannot be smart enough, no group of people can be smart enough to reconfigure a complex system like this without causing major disruptions. you knowry'sty is that the -- reality is ta disruptions go negative for those not connectioned in washington, d.c.
10:55 pm
